9 Chapter 9: The Morning After

Sabrina Dubois' POV

I groaned as my head felt so heavy right now. I can feel that my head was pounding inside my head. I just want to throw up right now as I was running toward the bathroom and went toward the toilet seat. I emptied all my stomach content from last night. I was gagging so loudly and I would be so embarrassed if Nate found me in this state. I can never be able to charm him again. I was choking so hard that my chest was hurting.

My ginger hair was coming down my face before it was held back by someone. I don't care who it was at the moment as I was wasted inside the toilet. I was breathing heavily before pulling my head up the toilet and flush it. I pulled the tissue beside it and wiped my mouth. A hand was going up and down my back as to ease me.

"Easy, you had quite a lot last night," Nate said as he was rubbing my back. He stood up and went to get something from the cabinet at the counter. He came back to my side as I was sitting on the toilet.

He gave me an Advil and a glass of water. I took it as I mumbled thanks before gulping it down into my sore throat, thanks to throwing up like a pregnant woman. I sighed as Nate was leaning against the counter. He looked at me intensively. I looked at him.

"What?" I asked. He smiled while shook his head.

"Just spit it out. I know, I know, I was miserable last night. Forget it ever happen," I said as I was trying to get up. He blocked me from exiting the bathroom.

"So, tell me, Sabrina. What do you remember from last night?" he asked, his slate orbs were staring straight into my eyes, into my soul. I gulped. I know I can't hide anything from him. He will know immediately. Not to mention he was my big boss.

"I...ugh...I, I... ugh, I'm late for work," I said before running past him and out of his bedroom. I can feel my face was burning up as I can feel his stare at my back as I exited the door.

It was a regular day, a regular work at the lab as I was looking under the microscope about some bacteria. I took note of their behaviors and put them into the notebook that was provided. I just doing my rounds and was looking at a particular bacteria from the fresh batch. It was 7 PM. All of my other colleagues were gone, had a drink or two and head home. because of the last night accident, I was banned from going out ever. Nate abused his power to put me under house arrest.

"Hmm, that's weird. I just put something there and now it's gone," I said as I look under the microscope again. The bacteria was growing at a very fast rate for normal bacteria. I checked the name of the bacteria and look into the database of the company. It stated the function and the purpose of it in the medicine that we developed. Something was off, I thought before I went down to the archive in the basement to get more info.

I was walking down into the basement and I felt like I was being watched. I looked around my surrounding, nothing, in particular, was out of place. I just shrugged and keep ongoing. As I had arrived in the basement, I pulled out the notes about those bacteria. It was identified as Unknown by Anonymous. It has a little bit of information about it. I tried to look further but it was no good. Nothing was informative enough for the observation that I just had. I went back into the lab and put down the new observation that I had and put the petri dish into its place as my shift was way over.

I was putting off my lab coat and went out of the lab when suddenly someone was putting a mask over my head. I tried to scream for help but the last thing I knew, I was knocked up dead as I went slipping into darkness.

"What should we do with her? We can't have her snooping around our experiment anymore," said a voice in the darkness as I just realized I still being bagged by this scumbag.

"Hey, let me go, you bastard. I will report you," I said, sounding to be brave in the fact that my inside was dead. Someone smiles smugly as I can hear his voice. Males. 2 males of twenty-five, twenty-six as the same age as Nate, if I remember correctly.

"What do you want?" I asked them to try to face them despite my darkness.

"Brave little thing, eh? Why don't you just shut up your pretty little mouth before I lose my temper," he said as I can feel his face was in front of me. I can feel his glare through the bag, and I was cold-feet to oppose. I can sense some accent in his voice. Russian? Irish?

"Good, now be a nice girl that you are until that stupid White came to get you," he said before they went out of the room. Yup, definitely Irish. Here I am trying to figure out that man's accent where I am hopelessly laying somewhere who knows where. I prayed to God, my Lord, for someone to come and found me. After being tired as I don't get enough sleep last night, I went into a deep slumber.

After a few hours of blacking out, I can feel someone was shuffling me around. One man, I guess, and I think I knew it was. The same musk cologne that fills my heart instantly. The spark that I can feel as we both touch that leaves me breathless every time. I tried to think that he is not who he is. But my mouth has to slip out that name.

"Nate?" I said. The person stopped all his action.

"Nate, is that you? Why are you here? How? What? Who are you?!!" I said as I tried to get away from him as far as possible.

"Sabrina, stop wiggling. We don't have much time now! We need to get out of here fast," he said with such authority that made me stop wiggling in his arms. He took off the ropes that hold me and pick me up like I weighed nothing. I make a mental note that if I ever tried to run from this guy, I need to put him to sleep first.

"Where are we going?" I asked him, more like whispering.

"Out of here," he said before something smashed and triggered all the alarms.

"What did you do?" I screamed.

"Trying to get their attention that I have their hostage," he said before he jumped out, with me in his arms. I hold tight to him as I am aware that we were jumping out of a building, tall building and I am afraid of heights.

"Ahhhhh!" I screamed as he just went outside and hold to me dearly. Me, being the nervous wreck, I am, holding tightly to him as I don't want to die young. I can feel that he was smirking at me and hold me tighter as we went down toward the ground.

I think I just signed myself to the devil himself and that devil happens to be as handsome, lean, muscular and charming as Nathan White...

Fuck my dear life!

Nathan White's POV

It has come tome attention that I keep track of Sabrina. Her moves, where she goes to, who she's with. I needed to know everything. Not because I was a jealous boyfriend but I need to make sure that everything will be safe and sound for her.

"Sir, this just came in," one of my mentees said to me as he handed me a dossier.

"We have tracked the threat to be one of the terrorists that were leading by Celine Dubois," he said. I opened the dossier, hoping that Sabrina was not a part of the organization and luckily she was not. I exhaled the breath that I don't know that I was holding inside me.

"I want you to find information about Sabrina Dubois and report back to me," I said as I handed back the dossier to him.

"Roger that, sir," he said before he went on to make his job. I looked at the CCTVs of the fake company and saw that Sabrina was being held captive by the unknown people that were storming inside the lab.

"Shit!" I exclaimed before I ran out of the office as I only have one job in mind and that was to save Sabrina as quickly and possible that I can before anything happened to her.
